There needs to be a crossover episode where Wren teaches Adam CG effects and Adam teaches Wren a 1 day build

Wren has always exuded an Adam Savage-like enthusiasm for VFX so it's no surprise that they totally matched energies when they finally got on camera together!

[@dathaniel9403]

It must be so wild to be a famous person that is starstruck by another famous person. Like I'm sure there are instances where two famous people meet that are such huge fans of one another that they're both just mutually fangirling out when they finally get together. As much fun as Wren was having, I think Adam was easily having just as much fun. Like he said, this is his whole life, he could talk about this stuff all day!

[@matthewziemba7526]

Yeah, this is probably my favorite guest they've had! I always love hearing Adam talk about effects and how to solve problems, so it's cool to see him break down the practical effects!

[@Ubayla]

Adam Savage is a legend. It's amazing how he can talk about himself without sounding narcissistic or like a jerk. He's just too wholesome and has a level of excitement for things that few people likely even get to experience. I have a feeling he's one of those people that really just finds absolute joy in knowledge and in learning. You could tell him about programming concepts, VFX, or how to fix a door hinge and he'd look at you with the same genuine enthusiasm that he does everything. What an awesome guy.

[@GlennDavey]

Because people talk about themselves from a place of entitlement. Exude gratitude with everything you do and say and folks will give you a lot of room to big-up yourself. Gratitude is the opposite of entitlement. Adam Savage nailed it a long time ago.

[@provingzebra]

I think he’s just a very special type of person who can manage to maintain his level of enthusiasm for his job for decades. Dude seems to have never felt anything but love for what he’s doing.

[@_lime.]

I think it's because he talks about his work rather than himself. The focus is on what was done rather than on him having done it. He just has such a passion for the industry and it really shows. He's also always excited to highlight the work of others with a wonderful sense of admiration and appreciation.

[@Ovahlls]

He reminds me of Wren a lot.

[@DimIsHigh]

When Adam is talking about how they would expose for that particular scene, the concept really hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm an amateur photographer and lately I've been getting into film photography, and I never really realized that all of these movies were, yeah, shot ON FILM... Us young-ish (28) people got to grow up with digital cameras and cellphones, and until you try to shoot on film you don't really realize how hard it actually is, compared to digital. Wow, just wow, what a great episode.

[@mikiqex]

I really love that "cut" meaned literally to grab scissors and cut the film in the right spot, and then "glue" it to the movie roll.

[@leviathan19]

well still its a bitch to properly expose that shot even in digital the concepts are the same

[@altaccout]

[@shulmanator]

You guys have shocked me. I worked on those same shots that Adam Savage worked on for Matrix Revolutions 18 years ago, and until today, I had no idea he was behind the practical side of the FX. I animated the lightning coming off of the Mjolner ship as it crashed through the gate and fell. I can add to the narrative here. We ended up replacing much of the ship in CGI, presumably because the model had more detail added in post production. There were also CGI sentinel(squiddy) robots added at the bottom of frame, being kicked up by the debris and crash. I was impressed with how convincing the blue lightning looked in how it lit up the smoke elements.

[@zepp3299]

This is why I love this channel. Even in the comments you find interesting people. You guys did an amazing job on VFX in Revolutions, regardless of story or general opinion of the sequels.

I think the Matrix sequels suffered from too much story too little time, but the V/SFX and Stunt teams made the films amazing in my book. To the point I remember little of the story, but remember more of the individual shots. Anyway I have a Matrix marathon to start before I head to the cinema later this week lol

[@gnack420]

It really is what sets him apart as a truly great presenter. He's truly invested in what he's presenting. Absolutely love the guy!

[@G1NZOU]

I love how with real fans, despite some disagreements with things like the script of the prequels, almost everyone agrees the work on the practical effects was absolute top notch. Personally I quite like the prequels, and I love the sets and models they did. And I love Adam's descriptions of how the set designers work in their own backstory to each prop or set model. You see similar depth of work with things like Blade Runner where the art department thought about the past use backstory of each item or building when designing it and it just adds so much nuance to the worldbuilding that's unspoken.

[@dixie_rekd9601]

the prequels weren't such bad movies, they just had some hugeassed impossibly large boots to fill. overall they were pretty good movies, and apart from a few bad points, they were better than a lot of the movies that came out in their respective years.

[@oxide9679]

I've loved all the Star Wars movies. The animated shows? Not in the slightest. Only one real complaint about the prequels: giving the battle droids emotions. Oh, and Obi-wan's almost bowl cut in Episode III

[@alepenagorbe9135]

If you like that kind of visual storytelling you'll love the production of Mad Max: Fury Road. They didn't write a script; instead, they made thousands of storyboards in which they could showcase all the different designs and visual worldbuilding that the artists had in mind; so the movie is cluttered to the brink with detail, but everything is cohesive and doesn't distract from the story, it just adds to it. It's amazing.

[@NoriMori1992]

Adam Savage is so cool. And even better, he seems like such a lovely and delightful person. I've watched some of his streams on his channel, and I'm not sure I've ever seen someone so wholly genuine, and so earnestly excited and joyful about everything.

[@brandonschreiber6403]

Contemporaneous reports on the Jurassic Park production (Cinefex?!?) mentioned that the production team joked that Tippett was part dinosaur or had lived back then because he could move like a dinosaur.

I worked at this place where we'd wait around in big groups then break off into smaller groups where I felt more comfortable talking. 6 months in one of the guys sat next to me and said he thought I was a mute until we worked in the small group together because I never spoke. Sometimes it's too much info coming in. It could also be the fact that both Wren and Adam have these big, manic personalities and it can be uncomfortable jumping into that conversation or you feel that you can't match that level so you wait till there's an opening to say your own piece.

Adam and the whole Mythbusters crew were such a large part of my childhood. Loved watching and learning from the show

Yip. There's some weird energy here. Adam is angled towards Wren and only talking to Wren, it's quite awkward. It should have just been Wren and Adam if Nico had to pull out, and they could have just explained that at the top, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

[@Audax56]

Such a great guy. My dad knows his mom through work and I remember I bumped into her when I was a kid and she asked if we liked mythbusters (obviously we did). So next time we ran into her she gave me and my brother each a card with his autograph on it. Such nice people.

[@chetmcgovern9985]

I think having Wren in on this video was absolutely perfect. I can see the way that he and Adam think alike, they show their passion for stuff on their sleeve.

He’s the rare genuine hero. It is 99% likely that any hero is held up by optics, or that hero’s important stuff or legacy is held up by optics, or the hero did do all that stuff but is a jerk. It is vanishingly rare to find popular, talented, kind, nice, genuine people.

Yeah I'd like to have a session of the guys talking about those things freely. The shots cut in are really nice, but I'm sure they could find hours of material to just talk opinions and approaches to stuff. Maybe on Adam's channel with some practical demonstration in prop building. So much fun stuff to do

I appreciate that Adam constantly refers to his heros in the special effects biz even though he's been a part of that world for so long and I'm sure there are plenty of people who look up tp him as their hero now. He's become one of the most famous people in the special effects world which is usually a job that kind of goes with anonymity unless you're a true pioneer but he still talks with such passion and doesn't act like he's above it all.

[@gloom303]

[@adamushu]

RIP Grant, he would have loved to be on this show with Adam, talking about models and his robots he made for movies.

[@QuantumS1ngularity]

Damn, every time i see Adam i get hit by such a huge nostalgia surge. This guy filled my childhood and young adulthood, he made me passionate about science and most importantly taught me to question and test everything, no matter how silly or pointless it might look at first. Of course the rest of the Mythbusters crew also played a significant role in that, but somehow Adam was and still is the most vivid representation of the spirit of that show. Had HUUUUGE crush on Kari ( i mean who hadn't), laughed almost to unconsciousness with Tory and his ability to self inflict injuries, was completely amazed by Grant and Jamie's ability to built incredible stuff, but Adam was like the finishing touch to all of that. The pure unrated, unfiltered emotion coming out of him is what bridged the TV and the viewers. His grown child personality on the show bonded perfectly with the inner child in each and everyone of us. As for the video... well for me personally it's the best react video on this channel so far.

[@KirsiKitten]

This is, absolutely perfectly said. Ive had the same experience all through childhood and as an adult now I still watch his KZbin and builds and just the pure unfiltered passion he has for creating is absolutely contagious. It fuels and pushes me every time and I love him forever for sharing that passion all the time.

I freaking love love love Adam Savage. Seems like a gem to be around. Love all of his work.

This was an awesome Christmas treat, two of my favorite channels, as well as two adjacent disciplines, Practical and Special FX knowledged people. I would so love in Adam's next visit you guys trade notes on the strengths and weaknesses of practical and computer generated FX, because you have ley people constantly taking one side or another, but in the end they are both tools and with any tool its the artists job to know how to work with each tools strengths.

[@MaxwellAerialPhotography]

The more i learn about the production of the prequels, the more i respect George Lucas. The man had issues with writing and at times direction, but he genuinely respect the craft of all the experts that he brought in to help create the world of star wars.

[@KanyeT1306]

It's why I think the Prequels work better than the Sequels. They had some real passion to them, whereas the Sequels feel a bit corporate from The Mouse.

[@FablestoneSeries]

It took many years for people to realize, but George wasn't the problem. It was all the sycophants he had surrounding him who weren't challenging him, or telling him the harsh truths he needed to hear. In his gut he already knew he had pushed the silly goofy slap stick stuff too far, but all the yes men surrounding him just kept telling him how amazing it would be.

[@user-xx6vy9ri8p]

@@FablestoneSeries Basically it boils down to people being flabbergasted that the people Lucas hired to help him make the prequels were largely in sync with him creatively (you know, as you might expect) and didn't constantly trash talk him while being filmed for behind-the-scenes footage. There's no real evidence that Lucas was surrounded by "yes men" to a greater extent than is usually the case. There's this whole mythology about how Lucas was constantly being challenged and put in his place by others during the making of the original trilogy, but if you do a little actual research you find very little evidence of that either, besides some claims made by disgruntled ex-producer Gary Kurtz who was fired halfway through Empire for incompetence and spent the next several decades constructing a self-aggrandizing narrative which recast himself as the hero of Star Wars.

[@cenciende9401]

@@KanyeT1306 Wrong. You clearly have no goddamn clue about JJ and TFA/RO were both great, if you want to blame someone blame Rian Johnson for screwing up the second film and by extension Kathleen Kennedy for hiring him.

[@FablestoneSeries]

@@user-xx6vy9ri8p challenging a person creatively doesn't involve trash talking them. I don't remember his name, he was one of the producers, and he is a real smooth talking, slime ball salesman. watching him in every clip, you immediately get the sense he was little more than a no talent cheerleader. George was suggesting they cut all the slap stick from the movies but this idiot was like cheering him on the whole time. You don't see this side of Hollywood much. There is the famous talk Kevin Smith did about the notorious producer who ruined his Superman movie with his ridiculous requests to have Superman never wear the suit, never fly, and to fight a giant spider. Every block buster movie flop in the last 30 years you can tie to producers interfering with the creative process for one reason or another. I work in film and have been fortunate enough not to work on any flops, but i have worked on enough movies that I seen morale suffer greatly due to the ridiculous decisions being forced on them by pencil pushing executives.

The Matrix sequels are supremely underrated in my opinion. They don't carry the same ideological and metaphorical weight as the first one, but they're still strong movies, particularly well directed, they have interesting and distinct characters with arcs and motivations, relevant dialogues and interesting social dynamics. And the action is great too.
